Being a Brony.

- What is a Brony?
- Why are you watching cartoons that are for kids?
- So childish!
- Are you gay?

These are among the questions that i got for watching MLP - FiM or even mentioning them.
What is it?
Its My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic.

MLP-FiM a reboot from the 80's cartoon.

Here i explain how i get hooked to the show since November last year.
My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic is a reboot from Hasbro's 80's cartoon series of the same name but different theme. When i was a kid, i remember watching a few episodes of this 80's series and kinda turned down by it since its all "girlish" and crybaby kind of theme. The new characters are created by Lauren Fraust (Creator of Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) are art concepts that she had in her mind and drew it as a hobby based on the 80's cartoon character. Then it is turned into an animation and as a reboot of the show.

Lauren Fraust.

I almost forgot that this thing existed anymore until when i first bumped into it again on an internet forum called as 4-Chan. They have an imageboard and funny threads that i usually go there for the lulz. Then in early January 2011, many posts are invaded by the new Generation of MLP, which it is called as G4 ponies. I didn't even give a damn about it until there is a war broke out in the /b/ board where many posts are totally spammed by the MLP picture images and boards. Then it was the internet's meme where ponies are love and tolerating trolls that are raging at them. By the time it seems like no end in the board. The Admins finally can't take it and start banning everyone posting ponies. This caught my interest. How can a harmless image macros and memes can cause bans in the members of the community.

Troll much?

Then the banned members retaliated. Posting pictures of "Mods are asleep, Post Ponies". That waged on for about a month when finally the mods created /mlp/ board just for the Ponies and lifted the bans.

This got me curious. Then for the first time i watched it in one of the threads in /mlp/ board. Episode is "Sonic Rainboom". I am unusually picky in watching shows, movies and dramas. What i usually want in a drama/movies/animations is the artstyle, story and voice actors. I want them to be perfect, and needless to say, THIS IS PERFECT. They have all of it. Artstyle is simple, defined and colourful. Story is really creative and the Voice Acting. Its so good and lively. How can a 80's reboot can be this good. Songs are amazing too. This is actually a really good show and I shamelessly admit that I love this show.

Now about Bronies. The concept of the show is actually targetted towards kids about 5.- 7 years old and mainly girls. But something else happened when Adults 20-40 years of age began to show love for the show. They became fans of the show, they created blogs, forums and even charity just in the name for the show. Last year they even have hosted BroNYcon (Brony Convention in NEW YORK) and it is a huge success. Later on in Season 2 of the show, the company, Hasbro and the animators, Studio B in Canada showed support for the fandom. Many references were placed in for keen eyed watchers for them to catch. One of it is Derpy (a fan favourite pony) , a pony with an animation error in the earlier episode which caused her eye to be a little off.

The fandom has grown to even larger day by day. Fans outside the show’s demographic, especially teen and adult male fans, have come to be known as “bronies”. Although fans are generally known as bronies all across the internet, Also, female fans of the show have been referred to as “pegasisters” on occasion, though this isn’t as popular as the term brony. Many slangs are also created like "brohoof" for fistbump, Everyone was changed to "everypony".

This fandom too has gained me a lot of new friends that came from a lot of places and many of them are really good pals. Another thing about this fandom it the art that came with it. I have never seen so much art being produced no matter digitally or traditional sketches and paintings. I have also learned how to draw with them guiding me and creating my own style of drawing. 

My own fanart.

Thats all i have to blabber about after a looooooong time abandoning this blog. So i think its time to revive this with a really long td:lr post. <3

Special Update !! (Crayon Shin-chan Mangaka Killed in Clifftop Fall)

Yoshito Usui, author of the famous manga Crayon Shin-chan, has been found dead on mount Arafune, apparently after a hiking trip gone wrong.

The 51-year-old author’s body was reported lying under the Tomoiwa cliff by a male hiker. His personal belongings was found near his body, including his backpack and mobile phone. He had been reported missing a week prior.

His remains were airlifted from the scene for autopsy, with police concluding he died of a collapsed lung and other injuries incurred during the fall, confirming the identity of the corpse with dental records.

The precise circumstances surrounding his death are not known, but police do not seem to be considering foul play or suicide likely explanations; attention focuses on the precarious and unfenced nature of the trail, although it is said to have long been accident free.

The publishers of the manga has extended their condolences to the family, and will review the uncertain future of Crayon Shin-chan’s publication.

Apparently he fall off this cliff... What a sad ending for shin chan.... T.T

I defenitely will miss him..... especially Shin Chan... So.... ( Arigato Gozaiimaz for Yoshito Usui and Sayonara forever...)

I will miss you..... Crayon Shin Chan....

Why 09/09/09 Is So Special??

Have special plans this 09/09/09?

Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.

In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9," an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.

Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.

Though technically there's nothing special about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the history and meaning of numbers ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.

For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated - while others might see the date as an ominous warning.

Math magic

Modern numerologists - who operate outside the realm of real science - believe that mystical significance or vibrations can be assigned to each numeral one through nine, and different combinations of the digits produce tangible results in life depending on their application.

As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.

Though usually discredited as bogus, numerologists do have a famous predecessor to look to. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and father of the famous theorem, is also credited with popularizing numerology in ancient times.

Pythagoras most of all seems to have honored and advanced the study concerned with numbers, having taken it away from the use of merchants and likening all things to numbers," wrote Aristoxenus, an ancient Greek historian, in the 4th century B.C.

As part of his obsession with numbers both mathematically and divine, and like many mathematicians before and since, Pythagoras noted that nine in particular had many unique properties.

Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.

Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.

Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)...

Loving 9

Both China and Japan have strong feelings about the number nine. Those feelings just happen to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.

The Chinese pulled out all the stops to celebrate their lucky number eight during last year's Summer Olympics, ringing the games in at 8 p.m. on 08/08/08. What many might not realize is that nine comes in second on their list of auspicious digits and is associated with long life, due to how similar its pronunciation is to the local word for long-lasting (eight sounds like wealth).

Historically, ancient Chinese emperors associated themselves closely with the number nine, which appeared prominently in architecture and royal dress, often in the form of nine fearsome dragons. The imperial dynasties were so convinced of the power of the number nine that the palace complex at Beijing's Forbidden City is rumored to have been built with 9,999 rooms.

Japanese emperors would have never worn a robe with nine dragons, however.

In Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky - second only to four, which sounds like death.

Many Japanese will go so far as to avoid room numbers including nine at hotels or hospitals, if the building planners haven't already eliminated them altogether.

For me... 9 is everything in my life.... i have a few 9's in my IC.... UTAR ID card.... i was born in year 1990... My Driving license also have a 9.... Credit cards... Applications.... everything around me is assciociated with 9 after all... ^^

Malaysian Muslims 'may attend' Black Eyed Peas show

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysian Muslims are now permitted to attend a concert by US hip-hop band Black Eyed Peas, organisers said Tuesday, reversing an earlier stand which saw Muslims banned from the event.

The Malaysian website for the September 25 event, sponsored by the Guinness brewery, had specified it was "restricted to non-Muslims aged 18 and above," triggering controversy in the multicultural nation.

Muslim Malays, who dominate Malaysia's population, are not allowed to drink alcohol while members of the Chinese and Indians minorities are not subject to such restrictions.

However, in an about-face, concert organisers Artists World Entertainment said that anyone was free to attend the event which "is open to all individuals aged 18 and above."

The organisers did not give any reason for the change in its position.

"As a reputable concert organiser with years of experience showcasing international acts in Malaysia, we will continue to adhere strictly to the conditions as stated in our licensing approvals," they said in a statement.

The furore is the latest in a series of cases which have raised fears that Islamic law is on the rise in Malaysia, threatening its secular status.

Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, a 32-year-old part-time model and mother of two, was sentenced to six strokes of the cane by an Islamic court in July for drinking beer.

The government said the punishment was "too harsh" and threatened Malaysia's reputation as a moderate nation. It said the sentence would be put on hold while a review was conducted.

There have also been moves to limit the sale of alcohol in Selangor, the state which surrounds the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Performances by foreign bands frequently come under fire in Malaysia, particularly from the conservative Islamic party PAS.

The PAS has called for Danish band Michael Learns to Rock to be banned from performing on September 5, saying it was an insult to Muslims during the fasting month of Ramadan...

* Does this mean that Muslims are allowed to drink and party there??? May Attend seems as a stupid phrase.... Then i am not going... They are a total fucks and they have a record of being a party popper.... $hit@sses should not be permitted there....When they are fuckin Drunk....*
